Chapter 11: Jiang Zuo Zhoulang (2)

Since the fall of Dong Zhuo, the princes of the world have fallen apart, and the swords and soldiers have fought against each other. To the north of the Yellow River, the three heroes stood side by side, Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, Gongsun Zhan included Youzhou, and Cao Cao stationed troops in Yanzhou, especially Yuan Shao's troops were the most prosperous. However, Cao Cao also had a plan, when he defeated the Yellow Turban Army, he collected the remnants, reorganized the organization, established the military style, and trained the rest of the Yellow Turban into 300,000 brave and invincible Qingzhou soldiers.

On the bank of the Huaishui, in the garrison of the Yuan army, under the tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shu's subordinates and military generals were all present. Sun Ce walked in with Zhou Yu, who was wearing an iron mask, and saluted Yuan Shu: "I've seen General Yuan." ”

Yuan Shu was in a very poor state, his face was sallow, he held his head with one hand, and waved his other hand slightly, signaling Sun Ce to sit down. Zhou Yu saw that Yuan Shu was so depressed, he couldn't hold back his laughter, but fortunately, he was blocked by the iron surface, and no one noticed. Also, Yuan Shu was defeated by Cao Cao in Kuangting last year, and was pursued by Cao's army for more than 600 miles, forcing him to escape all the way across the Yangtze River to save his life. The shout of "capture Yuan Shu alive, there is a heavy reward" is still in my ears, Cao Jun actually killed it again, and at this moment, Yuan Shu can sit here upright, which is already quite stylish.

General Zhang Xun rushed back to the camp, strode into the middle military tent, saluted Yuan Shu, and then sat down on the left side, opposite Qiao Rui.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yuan Shu calmed down, cleared his throat and said: "You have also heard that Cao Apu led an army of 300,000 and has reached Pengcheng. ”

Ji Ling couldn't hold it back, and took the lead and said: "The person Cao Cao wants to crusade against is Tao Qian, what does it have to do with me?" If it weren't for Tao Qian's old thief who didn't take care of his subordinates and caused Cao Cao's adoptive father Cao Song to be looted to death, why did Cao Cao raise an army to fight? The subordinates thought that we just needed to hold south of Huaishui and wait and see what happened, so as not to get into trouble again. ”

"Brother Fu Yi's words are wrong", Yang Hong, the long history, shook his pu fan out of the queue and said eloquently, "Now north of the Huai River, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, and Cao Cao are separated, and only Pengcheng has no strong marquis stationed. With Tao Qian, Liu Bei and the like, they could not resist Cao Cao's Qingzhou army at all. If Cao Cao conquers Pengcheng and takes Xuzhou, he will be connected with Yanzhou and completely cut off the route for us to join forces with Gongsun Zhan. At that time, the morale of Cao's army will be greatly increased, and with Cao Cao's wolf ambition, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not move his army south. How will the lord deal with himself? ”

"Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are hostile to each other, if Cao Cao annexes Xuzhou, will Yuan Shao sit idly by?" Ji Ling asked rhetorically.

"Brother Fu Yi's words, do you have to pin our lives and the lord's life on the indecisive Yuan Shao? With Yuan Shaozhi's widowhood, it is difficult to decide, but I am afraid that I have not woken up from a big dream now, and the fugue is too empty! ”

"Enough!" Hearing Yang Hong mention Yuan Shao, Yuan Shuqi didn't fight in one place, "That wild seed from the concubine, it is not surprising that he is thinking every day about how to usurp the reputation of my fourth and third dukes, the Yuan family, and what stupid things he does." If it weren't for that kid's wolf ambition and fighting in the same room, why would he be lonely in Jiangnan? Yang Changshi, what do you say? ”

"This ......" Yang Hong was speechless for a while, "the subordinates are incompetent, and they haven't thought of the perfect way yet, please allow the subordinates to think about it carefully." ”

Yang Hong's voice fell, and the generals hurriedly lowered their heads, not looking at Yuan Shu, for fear that Yuan Shu would ask their heads. Yuan Shu glanced around, and after a moment of silence, he actually laughed, his voice was full of despair and cold: "One said that he couldn't ignore it, and the other said that he couldn't take care of it, and now is the time to employ people, ignoring this person who is full of accounts, he can't even come up with a decent plan!" No wonder Lone will be deceived and calculated by Cao A in Kuangting and ended up in such a field! ”

The generals were ashamed and buried their heads deeper. Yuan Shu saw that only Sun Ce did not bow his head, as if he saw a glimmer of life: "Bo Fu, do you have any good plan?" ”

Sun Ce came to Yuan Shu's military camp for the first time, and he was full of thoughts about how to mention the position of Jiujiang Taishou that he had captured Zulang in exchange for his life, and how to get back his father's old department, and he didn't listen carefully to the disputes between Yuan Shu and his subordinates, and now he was suddenly asked, and he couldn't help but be stunned. He subconsciously looked at Zhou Yu behind him, and saw Zhou Yu sitting precariously with a calm face and no expression. Sun Ce had no choice but to turn around and frown and think about how to deal with it.

Yuan Shu looked at Sun Ce and the doorman's actions, and seemed to be embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Bo Fu, you don't have to worry. There will be no one who will hate you, and if there are such narrow-minded people, you will be severely punished! ”

If it is said that Cao's plan is broken, Zhou Yu has already made a plan in his heart. But breaking Cao is not the goal, helping Sun Ce get back the old ministry is the real chapter. Now that Yuan Shu asked about them, it was an opportunity to send it to the door, Zhou Yu coughed lightly twice, and signaled to Sun Ce, don't miss the opportunity.

Sun Ce comprehended, pretended to be distressed, and said to Yuan Shu: "Bo Fu is a person who practices martial arts, and he doesn't know how to strategize, if there is a good strategy, it is also my disciple Wu Luolan who plans for me." The two of us are perfect together, so we can overcome the strong enemy, but it's a pity that ......"

Seeing that Sun Ce wanted to speak and stopped, Yuan Shu was very anxious: "What is a pity? You kid, you have a direct and refreshing temperament, why are you picking up Qiao like this today? ”

Sun Ce said with a smile: "It's not Bo Fu Naqiao, I am weak, even if I have a plan to retreat from the enemy, I don't have half a battalion of soldiers under my command." If you want to give advice to the general, you can't make meritorious contributions on the battlefield. ”

No matter how brave Sun Jian was back then, he was just a subordinate minister, Yuan Shu didn't pay much attention to Sun Ce, and replied with a smile: "You kid, just say it directly, how many soldiers you want, you will be allocated to you." ”

"Wait", Zhang Xun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "My lord, my subordinates have heard about the capture of Zulang yesterday. But no matter how brave Sun Jian's son is, he should be sharpened more, and he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, so he will be reused before he enters the account, doesn't it seem that there is no one under the lord's account? ”

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Yuan Shu's face changed instantly, and he was thoughtful. Sun Ce scolded in his heart, he had never met Zhang Xunsu, why did he make it so difficult for himself?

Cao Cao's tiger and wolf division was approaching, Zhang Xun's words were not unreasonable, Yuan Shu was in a dilemma, and asked Qiao Rui on the side: "General Qiao, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Xun is the second general in Yuan Shu's army, and Qiao Rui is the first general. But he was angry with Da Qiao yesterday and humiliated him at the banquet, and it is really difficult to guess what will happen to Qiao Rui.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both a little nervous, only to see Qiao Rui stand up and arch his hand to Yuan Shu and say: "The talent of the country is replaced, if it can't be used, others will criticize the lord." Therefore, the subordinates thought that if Bo Fu had a good strategy, it would be of great use. ”

Before Sun Ce and Zhou Yu could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard Zhang Xun say again: "General Qiao, your selfishness is a little too heavy, right?" Your eldest girl has reached the age of marriage, and she has discussed family affairs with this Sun Bofu, what is the purpose of helping him? I can advise you, don't learn from Wang Situ to marry his adopted daughter Diao Chan and Lu Bu, in the end, you can't trap Lu Bu's wolf ambitions. ”

Seeing that Zhang Xun deliberately compared Sun Ce to Lu Bu's three family slaves, Zhou Yu knew that he must express his position at this time, so he got up and said: "General Yuan is so powerful!" Seeing that General Zhang compared General Sun Shao to Lu Bu and General Qiao to Wang Situ, could General Yuan be Dong Zhuo's traitor? Such a great disrespect, the general can still tolerate him under the tent, it is really admirable! ”

This crime is really not small, Zhang Xun can no longer sit upright, and hurriedly gets up and worships: "Lord, Your Majesty has no such intention!" Please be aware of it! ”

Zhang Xun's words only cared about sarcastic Qiao Rui, which really embarrassed Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, pointed at Zhang Xun and scolded: "If you don't have a plan to retreat from Cao Jun, just sit here and settle down, don't say something cool and boring!" ”

Zhang Xun was covered in cold sweat, kowtowed and retreated to his seat.

Yuan Shu settled down and turned to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, you are still too young, and it is not appropriate to have too many generals." Thinking that the champion Hou Huo went to attack the Huns for the first time, he only had three or two thousand soldiers. If you don't have enough, you can ask General Joe to help you on the flank, what do you think? ”

Sun Ce stepped forward and arched his hand: "Three or two thousand is three or two thousand, the general has to speak, and my Jiujiang Taishou, don't forget the general." ”

Yuan Shu laughed and said: "You kid, just rest assured, as long as you can come up with a good plan, you will be as you wish." Lone knows that people who are suspicious do not need to be used, and the reason why people are not suspicious. What's more, you are the eldest son of Brother Wentai, how can you not believe it? ”

Sun Ce said again: "The general really does what he says, and Bo Fu admires it. However, Bo Fu is also a person who does his duty, and he knows the importance and will never embarrass the general. In this campaign, I only need Cheng Pu and Huang Gai as my camp guards, Han Dang and Zhu Zhi as my lieutenants, and I don't want the rest. ”

Sure enough, Sun Ce only needed a mere 2,000 people. Yuan Shu glanced left and right, and the people on the left and right had no objections, he nodded happily and said, "Okay!" Han Dang Zhu Zhi! ”

When the two generals heard the order, they were so excited that they rushed forward and said in unison: "The last general!" ”

"From today on, the two of you are the lieutenant generals of Bo Fu, and you must do your best to help Bo Fu, and there must be no mistakes."

"Yes!" The two generals couldn't hold it anymore and replied in unison.

Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction, looked at Sun Ce and said, "Since the kid has got his wish, let's talk about your plan." ”

Sun Ce smiled and arched his hand, leaning slightly and called, "Wu Luolan!" ”

Zhou Yu got up in response, stepped forward, and under the gaze of everyone, he gave Yuan Shu a Hun salute, and said in a dumb voice: "Although the villain is a Huns, he knows a lot about the affairs of the Central Plains. Cao Mengde's crusade against Xuzhou this time was not planned for a long time, but on a whim, and he had to be killed. The reason why the villain was able to make this conclusion was that he carefully checked the road map of Cao Jun's march and found that Cao Jun's battle was different from the past. ”

Sure enough, Zhou Yu's words aroused Yuan Shu's interest, and he unconsciously leaned forward and said eagerly: "What is the hidden danger?" ”

Zhou Yu turned his back and said in a deep voice: "Yanzhou occupied by Cao Mengde is one of the ancient Kyushu, and it has eight counties in Changyi. There is Mount Tai in the north, and Surabaya in the south, which can be a corner of its own. However, this time, Cao Cao took the main force out, leaving Yanzhou empty, which coincided with Lu Bufang's departure from Yuan Shao, and Chen Liu, who was stationed at the moment. Therefore, Cao Cao's crusade against Xuzhou at this time gave Lu Bu a great opportunity to seize Yanzhou. Therefore, the general only needs to be prepared to resist for a month, with deep ditches and high walls, extensive grain and grass, and secretly supporting Liu Bei and LΓΌ Bu on the other, no matter how brave the Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao are, they will not be able to end the war within a month. When LΓΌ Bu lit a fire in Cao Cao's backyard, Cao's army would retreat. ”

Yuan Shu slapped his hands and said approvingly: "What a good move to surround Wei and save Zhao, but if Lu Bu is not as Mr. said, what should I do?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled and bowed: "Whether it can be as the villain said, it depends on the general's means." ”

In the small tent where Xiao Qiao lived, the iron ding boiled medicine, and the water vapor was steaming. In the midst of the green clouds, Da Qiao carefully wiped and pecked Xiao Qiao with medicinal powder, but the wound was long and deep, and the bleeding could not be stopped. Da Qiao was heartbroken and anxious, and said softly: "Wan'er, this injury can't be delayed any longer, I'd better ask the military doctor to take a look." ”

Xiao Qiao hurriedly stopped: "Sister, don't!" If the military doctor had seen it, his father would have known that Wan'er didn't want him to worry anymore. ”

A male voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Miss Da Qiao is here?" Pei, a military doctor, came to visit. ”

Xiao Qiao dragged Da Qiao in a low voice, and pouted: "Didn't you say don't look for a military doctor, how can my sister ......?"

Da Qiao's face was full of helplessness and doting, and he raised his hand and gently scraped Xiao Qiao's firm nose: "I came to Doctor Pei to ask about my father's cough, don't think about it." Rest here, I'll go out and talk to him, and ask for more powder." With that, Da Qiao got up and walked out of the tent.

Xiao Qiao raised her hand and tugged at the hair ribbon, like a waterfall of long hair pouring down, she slowly pulled up her dirty clothes, wrapped her thin and scarred shoulders and back, and walked back to the bed lightly, sleeping with her clothes. Who knew that there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, unlike Da Qiao's soft footsteps, the person who came should be a man, and he lifted the curtain and walked in without asking for instructions or asking.

Xiao Qiao didn't look back, and said angrily: "I don't need a doctor, if I don't go out again, don't blame me for being polite." ”

The man did not hearken, but strode near. Xiao Qiao got up and looked back, and with a flick of his wide sleeves, the flying stone was about to come out, but who knew that the person who came was Zhou Yu wearing an iron mask. Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, and the flying stone rolled to the ground weakly, and stopped after making a circle.

Daylight poured through the cracks in the tent roof, casting a mottled halo of alienation. Zhou Yu no longer bent over, walked forward handsomely, and when he was far away from Xiao Qiaozhang, he stopped, raised his hand and gently climbed the copper lock, and slowly took off the iron mask.

Xiao Qiao exclaimed in surprise and immediately covered his mouth. Zhou Yu's peerless handsome face suddenly appeared, Xiao Qiao clasped her hands, only to find that her palms were full of fine sweat, and she shouted in a low voice: "This is the barracks, are you crazy!" ”

Zhou Yu's eyes were as dark as night, and his tone was as indifferent as usual: "Zhou Gongjin, the county commander of Juchao County, please check the pulse of Miss Xiao Qiao, is it okay?" ”

It turned out that he was worried about her injury, and because of her angry words, he deliberately revealed his identity. Xiao Qiaoru was in a dream, blushing and watching Zhou Yu approach, bending down and squatting, reaching out his big knobby hand to grab his slender wrist and set up his pulse.

There seemed to be a sweet spring cheese in his heart, Xiao Qiao looked at Zhou Yu's angular side face and was stunned, his eyelashes were long and dense, and his eyes were extremely dark, although he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, he gave people a great sense of relief. Xiao Qiao only hated himself for not being angry, so he was crying like that, but now he can't be angry anymore.

Zhou Yu lowered his eyes to check the pulse, his expression was fixed, as if he had no distractions, but suddenly said: "Zhou Mou came here this time, all for Bo Fu. If his identity is revealed, he may cause trouble for Bo Fu, not deliberately beware of the girl......"

Zhou Yu explained to her in a gentle tone, Xiao Qiao's clear eyes were full of brilliance, and his pale little face was covered with a touch of pink, and he smiled and said, "Got it, Iron Head Military Division." ”

A little spring breeze came out of the Xuan window, blowing through Xiao Qiao's long hair, as if overnight, Qiao's family had a female first-time growth. Zhou Yu raised his eyes and met Xiao Qiao's eyes, and the person who had always been calm and self-contained was stunned for a moment, he coughed lightly, strengthened his mind, and re-connected Xiao Qiao's pulse. Seeing this, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but blush, and turned his head to look away.

After a while, Zhou Yu asked again: "When was the first time the girl was attacked by a strange bird?" ”

Xiao Qiao thought back for a moment and replied, "It was when I swam Chaohu Lake with Sun Bofu that day." ”

Zhou Yu withdrew his hand, thinking in his heart: "The girl is not seriously injured this time, but she can't be ignored." After Zhou went back, he would mix medicinal wine for you and let Miss Da Qiao wipe it for you. ”

Xiao Qiao nodded obediently, his little head tilted, as if he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, where is my sister?" ”
